clouds around in the upper 30s, we think that maybe it will be close to the 40-degree mark with winds out of the west at 5 to 10 miles per hour. tomorrow, about 55 miles per hour. some sunny breaks, a few more than we had today. you saw some this afternoon. i know i did. we'll look forward to at least a little bit of sunshine in the afternoon but more clouds than anything at 8:00 in the morning at 42. we warm up by some 10 degrees by the time we warm up. 54 degrees in the sunshine. enjoy those sunset times around 6:00 now because that's going to be changing this weekend. we are going to be setting our clocks back. actually fall back. and then we get an hour of sleep. so we return to standard time. >> here are what the temperatures we are expecting tomorrow. sunday, again, a 56 degrees and there is that extra hour to snooze if you set your clock

overnight and we'll keep this cool air bass we talked about because of the atmospheric road block not allowing this pressure to lift up. that's why we have lots of clouds and sun. temperatures in the 50s until we break this down and it's going to take a day and a half or two days to do that. a few more breaks and sunny for the week, nice bright skies, temperature still in the mid- to upper 50s, a little bit of a breeze on saturday and maybe friday. a very good feel of fall in the air for you. future cast showing you an idea of when we may get the clouds kicked out of here. we may see a little snow depicted in the mountains. more clouds than sun but some sunny breaks. look tim tomorrow night, you might see some of that sunshine breaking out in the potomac high land. it may clear out just a lull bit so that perhaps friday will feature a bit more sunshine than clouds. a chance of upflow in the appalachian but as we go
